Plain-language change summary

The changes to Bill HB 1168 clarify the process for determining how much state aid each school district receives. Specifically, it establishes a baseline funding formula based on past school revenues and state aid received during the 2018-19 school year. Additionally, the bill now requires districts to submit their taxable valuation and mill levy certifications by a specific deadline, otherwise they risk losing state aid payments. These amendments are important as they aim to create a more predictable funding system for schools, ensuring that districts meet certain requirements to receive funding.
